1992 Acura Vigor GS review from North America

- Radiator (twice)

- Some rust (all repaired)

- Oxygen sensors

- ABS relay

- Blower motor (replaced myself recently)

I love my 92 GS 5 spd Vigor! I've owned it for 7 years now, and while I've had to fix a few things, it has been relatively bullet proof. It now has 260,000 kms, and still drives like a dream!

I find myself looking at her as I walk away in parking lots all the time, because the styling is so timeless and classy! I also find the interior is very high quality and refined; it was the last Acura to have REAL wood accents.

The Vigor was replaced by the 2.5 TL (same engine), and 3.2 TL; those cars are also nice, but Acura cut a few corners with them to save $$, so they're generally not quite as well put together.

I've driven a lot of newer cars, but I always end up finding something I like better about the Vigor. It handles great, and like some others have mentioned has about 200 hp (not the 176 hp listed on paper), so it is still one of the faster cars on the road.

Finally, this car is very rare!! I often go several months without seeing another one. Very special car.

We plan to buy a second car this year (probably a 2006-2008 TSX), and guess which car will get the garage all Winter? The Vigor of course!!
